    I all of a sudden noticed a purple line today (which was not there before) measuring around 3-6 cm dilated based on your chart. I'm not in labour. Im 41+6 days. Lots of intense cramping and false labour contractions on and off. Bloody show and intense lightning have been consistent since I had a membrane sweep 24 hours ago. Hoping the line in a postive sign that things are starting to progress. I've had prodromal labour since 37 weeks. Contractions daily - at times it's been intense and timable. I've trained myself to ignore almost all the feelings. I'm sure I'll know when it's the real deal. I'm desperately trying to avoid induction as I am a VBAC/TOLAC and understand how interventions can greatly reduce my chance of a successful vaginal birth.

Also, I'm getting mild menstrual-like cramps in the evening (the lightening is usually in the evening too). Does this mean I'm starting to dilate?

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  2 роки тому +9

      Hi! Thanks for your questions. Given that you are 34 weeks, your cervix is most likely thinning out and softening at the moment not necessarily dilating. How tall are you? I ask because if you are under 5ft 4, it's more common for pregnant women to give birth before their due date so your labour may start sooner rather than later. It's always good to have your hospital bags ready by 36 weeks just to be on the safe side. It's most likely that the menstrual-like cramps are just aching that you're experiencing from your baby being low in your pelvis and your body is tired and achy after a busy day. However, do stay aware of your symptoms and keep monitoring what you are experiencing. Sorry you have been crying about the lightning crotch. It can be really painful at times. I remember! Having a warm bath and lying on my side on my sofa with loads of pillows in the evening helped to ease mine ❤️

      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  2 роки тому +6

      I know you might feel frustrated right now. I didn't give birth until 41+4. Trust that your body and your baby know when the right time is to start labour. Due dates are not an exact science. Only 4% of babies arrive on their due dates and that's just luck. The best thing you can do is relax. Go for a walk every day near to your home to help gravity pull your baby on top of your cervix to help it open. Also, stroke your tummy and speak to your baby. I did this every day after 40 weeks. "I'm looking forward to meeting you my baby, I'm ready for you now". This helped me to feel less anxious. I know you probably feel uncomfortable and tired but your baby can't stay in there forever. Try to enjoy the final days of your pregnancy as much as you can. Relaxation helps your mind and body know that you are ready to meet your baby. Stress can prevent things getting started. Breathe, walk, meditate, distract yourself by seeing and talking to friends and family. You can do this! 💪😍💓

My stools are much softer now.. baby ran out of space in there so he still moving but it's harder for him. Also it's hurt a lot down there so I been doing a lil kegels but mostly sitting down like a butterfly 🦋 which has helped the pain. No bloody show, no mucus plug... But idk yet...

    I had membrane sweep and was 50% effaced 1 cm dilated when they did it. I started losing mucus plug two days later. I have constant back pain and some contractions at night but nothing too painful. I’m getting induced in 4 days I hope I go naturally before… so far I only have back pain that’s constant …

      I hope everything goes well for you. Do you know if your baby is in a head down but back- to- back position in your womb? Sometimes constant back pain can mean you're in labour and having contractions (which are felt in your back rather than the front of your body), if your baby is back-to- back that is. ❤️

    I am 5'4, and im 32 weeks pregnant lightning crotch happens regularly, and mild cramping is sporadic at best. The lightning crotch isnt painful for me its just like oh snap that just happened like someone came up and surprised you type feeling. Everyone i know has been telling me they think im going to have my baby before my due date which is October 7th. No one thinks im making to october. My fiance and my boss are like imma give it 6 more weeks. Lol not going to lie the pelvic discomfort and the heart burn at this stage is more unbearable then the actual braxton hicks or lightning crotch sensations themselves. I just hope i make it through my birthing classes in september! 😂 this is my first baby and im hoping for a natural birth ❤ ive been told everything im experiencing is completely normal for the stage im in so im just enjoying the journey to the best of my abilities.

    This video was pretty helpful, but the last sign of dilation (space between the fundus and the bra line) should not be too accurate, as the body proportions affect this measurement greatly. I have a long torso, so probably I'll be able to fit more fingers in this space than any other woman with a shorter torso.

    When people explain lighting crotch, I guess I’m so dumb I still don’t understand 😅. I have a pain in the crotch area that sometimes won’t let me walk and I’m considering sleeping sitting down until labor because I can barely move when I’m laying down because of the pain. It’s almost paralyzing my bottom area. After being up for a while it gets bearable. This all started when I started exercising and feeling the baby go down.

    I’ll be 33 weeks pregnant tomorrow and was very intrigued by the purple line, enough that I checked myself. Looks like I already have one that, at my closest measurement, is about 4.5 cm long. Does this mean I’m close to labor? This is my first pregnancy so I’m not sure what to expect though I haven’t lost my mucus plug or felt any contractions yet. Any help? Thanks!

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  Рік тому

      Hi! Thanks for the question. The purple line isn't an exact science but it can be a sign of cervical dilation though it's usually a sign of cervical dilation during labour itself. How tall are you? Shorter woman can go into labour sooner than taller women. I wouldn't worry too much but obviously if you experience what you think are contractions before 37 weeks, do go to the hospital ❤️👍

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  4 місяці тому

      No, many women do not need to have an episiotomy. This procedure should only be performed if your doctor is concerned about your baby and thinks that they need to be born as quickly as possible. Your vagina is designed to stretch and open so your baby can come out so an episiotomy should only be carried out if medically necessary. If you have any more questions, please let me know!

I hope everything goes well for you when your baby girl decides to arrive! Will you let me know when she's been born? Xxx

    So interesting! I have a question though, if the baby is going down, why is the uterus going up the further you are dilated?

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  17 днів тому

      @@RealDream112 good question! When you have contractions, your uterus muscles draw up to dilate your cervix. That's why your tummy rises during the dilation phase of labour. During the giving birth stage, the muscles push down 💕

      Sounds like things are getting started or moving in the direction of labour. Infact, this may be early labour so keep an eye on things especially if you feel like you are getting regular contraction sensations that are not going away. Good luck Jessie🤞💞🌹

    I'm 30 weeks. And on the ultrasound it showed I'm cervically dilated (1.7cm) . To my surprise, I had no symptoms at all. So I'm advised complete bed rest now till my due date.
    I still wonder what triggered it .

      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  2 роки тому

      I'm not sure what could have caused your cervix to be dilated already. It's good that you are resting and following your care teams advice though. How are you feeling being in bed? Are you able to pass the time ok? ❤️

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  2 роки тому

      It's probably the 'bloody show'. It's a sign that your cervix is starting to dilate. If the rose-red spotting has mucus mixed with it, you are probably losing pieces of your mucus plug too 💖

      Hi Nadia, thanks for your message. There is still plenty of time for your baby to turn head down. I would advise you to go for a walk every day and to make sure your hips are above the level of your knees when you're sitting down. Do you have a birth ball? They can be really good at helping to move a transverse baby into a head down position. 💖

    • @HypnobirthingWithAnja
      @HypnobirthingWithAnja  Рік тому

      You may have lightning crotch because your muscles or ligaments in the pelvis are under a bit of strain. Sometimes it can happen earlier in pregnancy and be linked to the changes in your body as it stretches and widens. How many weeks pregnant are you now?

    Am 34 weeks and from 2-3 days, when I complete urination, last few urine comes out fast with a feeling of emptying any bottle or cover in the lower abdomen.

      Hi Kadeeja, I don't fully understand what you are telling me. Do you think your waters may be coming out (amniotic fluid). I'm a bit confused by what you are telling me. I would advise that you speak to your doctor. You may just be peeing quickly. I'm not sure. 💕

      Am sorry, but am too confused about my condition. I fear how I will make my doc understand the situation. That's why I asked you.🙂
      I will just explain again and hope you can figure out😟. At the end of my every urination, I feel a relaxation feeling in the abdomen. I just relate it: like when we open a bottle filled with water keeping it upside down, there would be a fast emptying of it and finally the last few amount of water just makes a sound, air get inside.and empties the water completely. I don't know, but I think it's my urinary bladder getting emptied. I want to know, having such a feeling is normal or anything to worry about? I can't word out my feeling perfectly 😣
